How to make naked hypotsirt bloom: reproduction methods and the necessary conditions for successful cultivation

Hypocyte naked - an ornamental plant belonging to the genera family. Its peculiarity is in flowers, which are similar to lips, folded for a kiss.

But the color of the petals can be orange or yellow. They grow hypocirrhoid as naked as an ampel plant or in a flower pot on a windowsill.

The flower propagates in two ways: by cuttings and by seeds. How to care for a plant? Is it possible to grow hypocirrh in open ground? As well as the characteristics of the plant and its description - you can read about all this in the article.

Description

The genus of hypocirr has about 30 species of delicate shrubs. The leaves of the hypocirr are naked elliptical, and the tip is pointed. Their surface is smooth, and the color of the inside is light purple.

With the onset of summer, tubular flowers form in the sinuses. Their peculiarity is that the lower part is swollen. The plant blooms and at home. This period lasts from June to September.

Features of reproduction of indoor plants

Seeds

The following can be distinguished advantages of the seed planting method:

• the low cost of planting material and the wide distribution of varieties;
• ease of fit.

But here The disadvantages of this method are more:

• poor germination;
• if you use purchased seeds, then there are not so many of them in a bag, so it is economically unprofitable;
• Do not use old seeds that are more than six months old;
• the period of germination of planting material and obtaining adult culture lasts a long time.

How to choose seeds?

The seeds of the plant collected in September should be laid out on clean paper and dried for 2-3 days. Place the collected material in a dry container and keep in a dark and dry room.

Landing procedure

Planting hypocytes with bare seeds should be performed according to the following scheme:

1. Use a light peat substrate, combining peat and woody soil in equal amounts.
2. Place the soil in a wooden container, and then spread the seeds into shallow grooves (1-2 cm).
3. Spray the soil with water using a spray gun.
4. Cover the container with seedlings with plastic wrap. Place it in a room where the temperature regime is 23 degrees.
5. After 2-3 weeks, the first shoots are formed. From this moment, remove the film for 1-2 hours, and rearrange the container in a room where the temperature is 18-20 degrees.
6. When the height of the plants reaches 2-3 cm, they need to be dived and accustomed to fresh air. To do this, take the seedlings to the balcony or open the window for 20-40 minutes, increasing this "walk" by 30 minutes every day.
7. It is necessary to transplant plants to a permanent place a month after the germination of planting material.

Cuttings

As for the advantages of grafting, there are several:

• flowering plants faster than when planting seeds;
• quick survival;
• the ability to get a plant while maintaining varietal characteristics.

There are not many minuses here, or rather one - the bush gets harm, since the cuttings are cut from it.

How to choose planting material?

Naked hypocyte is most often propagated by cuttings.. You need to prepare them in the spring or in the early days of summer, I will use the following recommendations:

1. Remove shoots, leaves from the branch, leaving 4 buds.
2. Cut the stalk at an angle, observing a distance from the cut to the kidney of 2-3 cm.
3. The slice should be straight. Treat it with crushed activated carbon.
4. For better root formation, make vertical strips on the bottom of the handle using a needle.

Action algorithm

Procedure:

1. Prepared cuttings to plant in moist sand and peat soil.
2. Deepen the shoot to the nearest leaves and cover with a film.
3. Install a mini-greenhouse in a room where the temperature will be 22 degrees.
4. Carefully transplant rooted planting material into a separate container.
5. You can pinch the top to form a lush bush.

Care after

After planting a hypocirrh naked, it is important to provide it with regular watering. He must be moderate. Pour water strictly under the root so that the drops do not fall on the leaves.

Is it possible to grow in open ground?

You can grow hypocirrhoid naked on the street. To land her in an open area only if there are no frosts. It is best to do this in late May or early June. Choose a shaded area. Landing is done with ready-made seedlings. Keep a distance between plants of 40-50 cm. The soil should be loose and nutritious, and if it is heavy, then sand can be added.

When growing plants in open ground, the following problems may occur:

1. In mid-summer, the leaves may turn yellow. There are two reasons: the influence of sunlight or excess fertilizer.
2. Brown stains on the leaf plate result from irregular watering or the use of cold water.
3. The most common problem remains the lack of flowering. This occurs for several reasons: lack of light, dense soil, lack of power, lack of pruning.

In addition, the plant can be affected by the following pests:

• Aphid. This is a green or brown insect that eats a leaf plate.
• Spider mite. The main symptom of its appearance remains the presence of cobwebs on the inside of the leaf plate. In this case, she herself begins to turn yellow.
• Whitefly. The main sign remains the presence of small flying white midges.

Wintering

Naked hypocyte is a tropical plant, so it will not survive the frosts. To save him, you need to transplant the culture at the end of September in pots and keep at home. Procedure:

1. Pick up a not very big pot.
2. Fill it with a nutrient substrate. To prepare it, combine the following components: 3 parts of leafy soil, 1 part of peat land, ½ part of river sand. Also add pieces of charcoal to the ground.
3. By transplantation, transplant the plant, while maintaining an earthen lump.
4. After planting, you need to water the flower and install in a cool room.

The necessary conditions

• Temperature. In summer, the temperature will be 20-25 degrees. In winter, grow the plant at home at a temperature of 12-14 degrees. The room temperature should not be lower than 12 degrees.
• Watering. Summer hydration is required plentiful. As soon as autumn has come, then stop watering. If the winter is cool, then irrigation should be sparse, but only make sure that the earthen lump does not dry out. For irrigation, use settled water at room temperature.
• Shine. The plant needs bright light, but only it should be scattered. From direct rays it is necessary to organize shading.In winter, illumination should also be full.
• Pruning. You need to trim before the rest period begins. It is necessary to remove all damaged and too long branches. The places of cuts should be treated with crushed activated carbon. With the onset of spring, the plant gives new shoots that pinch several times in time for flowering. Thanks to this, the bush will turn out beautiful and magnificent.
• Top dressing. Fertilizing is necessary at the vegetative stage. This period lasts from April to August. Use for this special mineral fertilizers that are designed for flowering indoor crops. Perform the procedure every 10 days.
• Pot. For this flowering crop, it is necessary to prepare a not too deep pot, since the root system of the plant is not too well developed. What sways the material, then you can use a container made of ceramic and plastic. The pot must have drainage holes.

Hypocirrina nude is a very interesting flowering plant that can be grown at home and on the street. In terms of care, the flower is not very capricious, although it is important to monitor the temperature, lighting, water on time and make dressings. Then the culture will be evergreen, and its flowering will be long and plentiful.
